  • Thanks Ross, but I don't want to redirect the page.  I think I can point a link from the first page to the page Google is ranking for the keyword and get some traction that way.

  • I leave you 2 url, but it seems that the robots do not let you modify it. They propose you to put pages as non-index.... https://community.shopify.com/c/Shopify-Discussion/How-can-I-edit-robots-txt/td-p/432485/page/4 https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/promoting-marketing/seo/hide-a-page-from-search-engines greetings

  • Hey there! Thanks for reaching out to us! For us to update any 301 link, we would need to re-discover the old pages to be able to follow and update the metrics. As our index continues to grow and links are rediscovered, links which have changed should be marked as “lost” for the original domain and “discovered” for the new domain. In order for our crawler to update metrics to reflect the new domain, it would need to recrawl the pages linking to your site and discover the links which redirect. The discrepancies between the DA of your old domain and new domain are probably due to the previously externally discovered links that haven’t moved over just or haven’t been discovered. I hope this helps to explain - please feel free to reach out to us at help@moz.com with any further queries. Best, Eli

  • So about updating links to the new one. I see that you said that I should use the https://www.domain.com at all times. Then you said that the www is considered a new entity, but then you mention that it was ok to not use the www in my domain. Are you talking about the backlinking domains I do from here or on the actual website itself? Last thing.  is the backlinking rule that it should always match the exact way it shows in the URL bar? So for example https://www.domain.com should always be https://www.domain.com and never https://domain.com or even domain.com?

  • We usually use the CFDB7 plugin to save the data. (https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-cfdb7/). More information (https://github.com/mdsimpson/contact-form-7-to-database-extension). This is supposed to be valid for any form submission plugin. If we want to save all the shipments that are made so we can make debug. We use the Email Log plugin (https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/email-log/)

  • Thank you very much for your response, the truth is that we are appearing in different advertising media, and google has the links indexed. In fact we have now added the url to our moz profile and added it to the Link Tracking Lists tool. It will be a matter of time

  • Hi there, Upon checking your site I see that your site has been indexed already by Google, which is more important.  Also, I see that your site has 4 backlinks which is quite low, that could be another reason why your site has not been crawled by Moz yet. You need to wait a little bit longer or build more links since every site is going through the crawling queue priority. For example, sites with more links will be crawled more frequently compared to the sites that have fewer links. Ross

  • Hello there! I have two thoughts on this. Remember that rankings are not static. You mention ranking positions for your core terms, but where are you standing when you do these searches? Searchers around Toronto and North York are going to see different local and localized organic results based on their proximity to the place of business at the time of search. From my locale in the US, you are #1 in the local pack and #11 organically for your Toronto keyword phrase. Are you noticing a drop in traffic, leads, phone calls, form submissions? Those are the metrics that are typically best to determine whether a business is falling off. Visibility is something that has to be judged in relationship to competitors. If your business is going down, others are moving up. The key is to find out what competitors are doing that might be causing the rise of their assets in juxtaposition to the the fall of yours. Here's a link to a tutorial on doing a basic local competitive audit: https://moz.com/blog/basic-local-competitive-audit. It's a few years old now, but the basic idea is to stack up your metrics against those of your top competitors and uncover the factors on which they are winning. Have you done some audits of this kind for your most important phrases? Hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any further questions.

  • Doesn't this contradict that you can only have one or the other? "Multiple items on a page Multiple items on a page means that there is more than one kind of thing on a page. For example, a page could contain a recipe, a video that shows how to make that recipe, and breadcrumb information for how people can discover that recipe. All of this user-visible information can also be marked up with structured data, which makes it easier for search engines like Google Search to understand the information on a page. When you add more items that apply to a page, Google Search has a fuller picture of what the page is about and can display that page in different search features. Google Search understands multiple items on a page, whether you nest the items or specify each item individually: Nesting: When there is one main item, and additional items are grouped under the main item. This is particularly helpful when grouping related items (for example, a recipe with a video and reviews). Individual items: When each item is a separate block on the same page." https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/sd-policies#multiple-items

  • I think you should not be affected by the SEO of the page, nor should you be penalized by Google. Google penalizes when there are many hidden links to other pages. It is considered a bad practice. For example, years ago, people hid keywords with the background color of the web (penalized by google severely), this is detected by the different changes of the google search engine. I hope I have helped you

  • The decision to kill [/daytona-beach-web-design/] was rather simple. Even though both pages were created at the same time.  After looking at Google Search Console, only one URL got indexed. So we deleted one and expanded our content on the the other.

  • Canonicals will help with the trailing slash issue, but that's not the sole reason for your traffic loss. Read up on Angular and address those issues first. It's definitely going to be a boatload of work, but the impact you'll see from that will far outweigh any smaller optimizations you're able to make.

  • In addition to the links and relevance, I'd also consider if your keywords would be distinct enough from each other if you created two pages and two sets of keywords. If they are quite close to each other, then Google may get confused as to which one to rank which can lead to keyword cannibalisation issues. Generally, I'd only recommend creating two pages and allowing Google to index them if they are distinct enough from each other to avoid this problem. It sounds like this may be tricky if your new page is the same product but simply a free trial. Also remember that you could create two pages and then just stop the new one from being crawled and indexed by Google. This would prevent any ranking problems but allow you to have two pages. I'm not sure if this is worth it in your situation to be honest but I thought I'd mention it just in case. I'm sure that you could use some good design/UX and have both a free trial and a buy now link on one page - it's fairly common.

  • The most important is to redirect all your backlinks via 301 to the new URLs. As you've been told, why not develop the entire site in the subdomain and then move it to the new one, so you don't play with redirects and traffic from one subdomain to another.
